Statement from Bart Demosky, Executive Vice President and CFO, Bombardier, on Moody’s Ratings Upgrade to Ba3 from B1

MONTREAL, Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Bombardier team is proud to share that Moody’s has upgraded the company’s credit rating from B1 to Ba3, with a positive outlook. With this recent upgrade, Bombardier’s credit ratings are back in the Ba/BB category with both Moody’s and S&P for the first time in over a decade.

This achievement reflects the company’s strong and consistent execution across business segments, solid financial performance and disciplined deleveraging efforts over recent years. With a robust backlog ensuring visibility on future deliveries and the continued expansion of our Services and Defense businesses, we are building diversified and resilient revenue streams that strengthen our long-term outlook. Combined with our solid financial foundation, these factors allow us to execute on our plan and deliver growth across our portfolio, while maintaining a sharp focus on delivering returns on capital.

I want to extend my appreciation to the entire Bombardier team: your dedication and commitment have been instrumental in reaching this important milestone.
